There, listening to some magic tale

Of fabled bliss, or fancied woe,

They deck with art the silken veil,

Or tend the flowers that round them blow.

From moss-clad rocks and tangled shades

The murmuring waters roll around;

Sweep thro’ the garden’s green arcades,

And shine along the varied ground.

On waving boughs the plumy race

Sweet carol from the blossom’d spray;
